For the right price, I’d buy them. But they’re not the World’s panacea - just a medium term fix, not to be over used.

Both would kill us, so it doesn’t matter which passes the finish line first. This is what the article warns about - massive engineering projects that affect the climate, whether for the purpose of geo-engineering or not.

Nothing wrong with solar IF we can pump the heat out of the atmosphere, or dodge it in some other way. Which we can’t, yet, and a solution to this is not waiting around the corner.

Indeed it doesn’t increase the total energy. It converts much of it into energy that our excess CO2 traps - IR. So we must either leave it as visible light, or push technology to convert it into microwave, both of which can escape.

Solar panels appear dark - more so than a 23% reduction can account for. The whole of the other 77% will not immediately turn into heat, but the bulk of it will. Some photons bounce, with a dependence on colour - but what happens to them then? A tiny amount will escape the Earth, with the rest absorbed by objects, atmosphere and eyes - mostly becoming heat. And what happens to visible light when it loses “a little energy”? It becomes infrared - y’know: heat.

Depends: Did you whitewash your roof?

Look! My solar panels are 23% efficient! 😀

And what happens to the other 77%? It turns into heat! 🥵

tl;dr Waititi: Don’t believe what our own security says, China is our pal.

The Saudis and Iran? They’re going to get along like a sack full of cats.

Not so new.

Canada, it’s called parasitising a symbiotic relationship. Evolution tries this from time to time. Now we see if your law is fit to survive.
